Andrea Sauter

Katonah Yoga
Stuttgart, Germany

Andrea first started practicing yoga 10 years ago at the age of 40, primarily because of the physical benefit of the practice. In 2011, she completed 200hr Teacher Training with Inside Yoga (Young-Ho Kim, Frankfurt, Barbra Noh, Munich and Richard Hackenberg, Munich).

After a severe accident in 2012, Andrea had to start fresh. She met David Regelin, whose approach to biomechanics, using archetypes of forms and the beauty of geometry in connection to the human body, resonated with her. As a result, in April 2013, she joined his 75-hour Teacher Training in New York City, alongside his own teacher Nevine Michaan, Abbie Galvin, Alex Auder, and Chris Chen. Since then, Andrea continued to study with her main teacher Nevine Michaan on a regular basis. Her Katonah Yoga® 200hr certification is in finalization as of 2017.

Katonah Yoga® was founded by Nevine Michaan, and is a Hatha yoga practice refined over forty years, blended with Taoist theory, sacred geometries, pranayama, and meditation.

“Through this practice I found the magic of organic, organized nature. Taoism has deepened my sense of the inner directional intelligence of the body. Manipulating the form of the body through poses and refining the measure of the breath through pranayama, Katonah Yoga® has provided me with the tools for personal growth and well-being.”
